hoboken has way too japanese-looking a name for a place in new jersey
Hobo Prefecture, also known as "Hoboken" (帆々県),
fun fact i was going to call it "Hoboken Prefecture" but then i looked up the japanese word for "prefecture" and it's actually "ken" so the joke was basically made for me and all i had to do was find vaguely plausible kanji for "hobo"
@wehpudicabok "it may seem confusing as to why the name of toronto ends in 都 even though canada's capital city is actually ottawa, but it's worth remembering that when the city of toronto was given its current name, it was the capital of the province of upper canada"
